Prosport Gauges and Custom Switch Panel

Here are some shots of my interior with my new Prosport 52mm Premium Gauges. I designated a switch on my custom switch panel to change the color of the gauges instead of tapping into the illumination wire to perform the task. This way I can have my gauges white or amber anytime without relying on the headlights being on or off...

...sorry for the crappy pics:

Looks great, but why a racing switch to change the colors of your gauges? Couldn't you have made the switches do other stuff and put the color changing one somewhere more low key?

Acutally, I'm just using that switch temporarily until I install a switch elsewhere to do the job.

Those three switches are going to be used for ignition, exhaust cutout and intercooler water spray (maybe). I haven't really decided on what the third one will be yet.

I custom painted those myself. They're actually Graphite Grey. In daylight, they match the rest of the graphite console trim pieces spot on. It's difficult to tell with the pictures I took though...

I really like what you did with your clock. I was thinking of doing something similar. Nice work!

Hmm, they are plastic correct? I have a bunch of these chrome ones, however was hesitant to paint because of the area around the hinge. Seems like the friction would peel them. You seperated the cover from the attachment-base and spring?
Thanks! Yours looks killer, but I couldnt go through life without a cup-holder! Now a clock, well that isnt really important

(yeah I saw you have the little clock panel in there)
